Stamford To Receive 20 Battery Electric Buses, Transit Upgrades - Stamford, CT - Officials on Friday highlighted a $26.4 million federal grant which will be used to purchase the buses and make transit facility upgrades.
“It started spiking in the building with office staff,” Buccitti said. “Managers were out.”
CTtransit confirms that since the start of the month, approximately 40 employees with ties to the State Street building have either tested positive for COVID-19 or they have been quarantined because of potential exposure to someone who had tested positive.
Buccitti said some workers have even been hospitalized.
Nearly 1,200 drivers and maintenance workers provide CTtransit bus service statewide. Approximately 300 employees work out of the Hamden location, according to Buccitti.
“The fear is that they’re going to be next,” Buccitti said. “What’s going to be done? What’s the company doing to protect us?”
